    Genuinely makes it worse.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    If Nige can’t be arsed to do even the slightest bit of due diligence into these Cameo requests what makes you think he’d approach governing differently? Edit: and given he’s been burnt before by a similar request you’d think he’d have even more reason to scrutinise?

    O'Reilly booking for Man city

    Very similar point to the one I’ve made in respect of cricket’s ’umpires call’ margin. They know the tech isn’t exact so have left power with the official. Football continually pretends it’s an exact science. Make the lines a certain thickness, if when you put them on a screen they’re touching...

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    How much of that is down to not wanting to be there though? If there was chance to come back here and get back up to the PL I’d imagine motivation would change. Don’t think it’ll happen, mind.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Clearly you’re interpreting things how you want to interpret them. Maybe it’s a communication issue. Can’t speak for others, but regarding the points you’ve mentioned: 1. “what would you restrict?” - I think it’s more pertinent to recognise the sectors that are hugely overexposed on foreign...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I’m going to speak in generalistic (and probably incorrect!) terms here, but my issue with unions is that a lot of the time it seems they are trying to preserve the status quo. Take that driverless trains example, it’ll happen - there’s no reason for it not to in the long run - but the union...

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    Also due to Dasilva being missing. He is Grimes’ out ball a lot of the time. Don’t think he trusts Bidwell/Brau with the ball in the same way.

    And is also not that good. Hard pass from me.

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    To rationalise it slightly, he’s only 21 and you’d say La Liga is of a better standard than the Championship so he may prove to be better than that demonstrates in the long run. Besides, any deal will have some typical City Football Group buy-back/sell-on arrangement where it makes no sense to do.

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    Is Bashir Humphreys a realistic shout? Not got much game time for Burnley this season, albeit started their last 4 PL games (unsure whether this has been driven by injuries/AFCON absences). Plays LB or CB.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Why does he need congressional support? He’ll just do what he wants anyway. Regards the point on a mineral grab, the Danes have said they’re more than willing for mining companies to move into Greenland but there’s been no interest from US.

    Exactly. If it’s a strategic defence requirement then the framework is already there for them to act and I can’t believe for a second that Denmark would object.

    Rangers

    Not sure if it applies in this instance, but listened to an interview years ago with some football recruitment boffin. He said that if, by 8 games, they’re not delivering a point a game (i.e. 8 points) they’ll never get up to standard and you should just get rid before wasting more time and money.

    Weight and working out

    The ‘political beliefs’ bit is really down to ‘personal responsibility vs societal responsibility’. Think it’s a bit of both really - people are in denial about both the cost of healthy food and the time availability to cook. They use it as an excuse not to bother. The article cites that...

    Rudoni

    Thought he was a little better today than he’s been previously but still not how he looked last season. Starting to think it’s a tactical issue rather than an individual issue.

    Look Ephron, just run past someone. You don’t need to do a step over every time.

    Never do though. Get a player carded then play down the opposite side of the pitch for the remainder of the game.
